I owned, used, and loved the 28-135 when I used a Canon D60. Today,
if I went with Canon, I would choose the 24-105 IS instead; it seems
to be noticeably sharper, it is somewhat wider, it has constant
aperture, and it is about the same bulk and weight.
BTW, I didn´t "go with Canon" this time; I bought a Nikon D200 and
the Nikon 18-200 VR. This lens is noticeably better than the Canon
28-135, in spite of the vastly increaded range. But that´s beside
the point for a Canon owner; the thing is that lens design seems to
have gone forward since that 28-135 was conceived, and the Canon
24-105 is a newer generation, and shows it..
But I had no issues with my 28-135 at the time. I t was OK
optically, and very convenient to carry as a sole lens.

I just found this unread in my mailbox.
Besides the 24-105 being a newer generation lens, it is also an L lens.
The 28-135 is not..
Just curious, why did you switch brands?
